Bartokś Mikrokosmos: Genesis, Pedagogy, and Style"Bela Bartok's Mikrokosmos is a collection of 153 pieces for piano designed by the composer as a series graded according to difficulty. The pieces were written between 1926 and 1939 and have become by far the best-known series of teaching pieces by a major composer in the twentieth century." "This study investigates Bartok's Mikrokosmos from three main viewpoints: the genesis of the pieces, their pedagogical value, and their stylistic qualities. The book is intended for piano teachers, students, and performers, as well as anyone interested in Bartok's life and work as pianist, educator, and composer."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
